JYJ‘s Junsu is garnering a lot attention for his small waist size in the music video for “Tarantallegra“.

On May 13th, the music video for Junsu’s first solo album’s title song “Tarantallegra” was released. It featured a dark theme to match the mood of the song as Junsu successfully captured the audience with his masculinity and charisma.

An agency official said, “A music video with remarkably high quality was created. There are many dynamic scenes that complement Kim Junsu’s talents. I am confident this is the best music video released this half of the year. There was enough confidence in the music video to release it 24 hours before the release of the album.”

What’s becoming a hot topic is Junsu’s waist line in the music video. The singer danced wearing an open jacket without a shirt on, revealing his slim waist. Netizens are commenting that his “ant-like” waist looks like it could be grabbed with just two hands and that they feel sorry for his female back dancers.

Meanwhile, Junsu will be holding his first solo concert for his first solo album ‘Tarantallegra’ at Seoul’s Jamsil Student Gynasium on May 19th and May 20th. The singer is reported to have had a hand in creating 8 of the 12 tracks in the album.

Hallyu superstars Super Junior recently gained attention as they commented on their increasing popularity in the Japanese market.

On May 13th, Super Junior held a press conference to mark the ‘Super Show 4‘ concert at the prestigious Tokyo Dome. During the conference, leader Lee Teuk shared his thoughts on Super Junior’s popularity by commenting, “I think we benefited greatly from the Hallyu Wave“.

When asked about the comparisons to label mates and fellow Hallyu superstars TVXQ, Lee Teuk replied, “Many people compare our popularity to TVXQ’s, but we really have a long way to go. TVXQ’s fandom is beyond imagination. TVXQ’s popularity is the result of hard work that began at performances in front of only 500 people.”

He continued by explaining, “In comparison, we never had any real promotions or activities in Japan but we received a lot of love as a result of the K-pop boom. We are considering creating a unit in Japan in order to repay the love that we received.”

In related news, Super Junior held their ‘Super Show 4′ performance across two nights at the Tokyo Dome. The concert was a resounding success, as each performance played to a crowd of over 55,000 and grossed over $14 million dollars in revenue.

The next leg of the ‘Super Show 4′ tour is scheduled to be held in Seoul on May 26 and 27th.
